Zoning readiness

Zoning not started, normal handling time

Notes on investment regulatory readiness

Current zoning for the area is social services (i.e hospital, services living etc.) There is no longer use for such services in this area and a re-zoning into either Data Center operations or industrial operations is possible. Discussions held with the municipality indicates re-zoning could be executed as fast as in 6 months but probably in 12 months.
